Servo Skull v2 runs 1-4
(Or, how many ways can I accidentally collapse my Ai Model during an Ice Storm?)
As someone who is quite interested in the tantalizing prospects of using Ai as a medium to create original characters, content, and art...I knew I would eventually run into Ai Model Collapse! Behold, the horror to which I awoke, early this cold January morn!:
Ideas about possible contributing factors (aka, "what did I do??!?):
dataset image background as a transparency vs with an...actual background (less differentiation per image?)
Mis-tagged key concepts (I accidentally mis-tagged a few concepts, oops!)
Mis-clicked on the source image directory! (instead of the main concept linked to the main folder...it linked to a small sub-folder)
Mis-labeled a file folder in my image directory. Does OneTrainer read the file folder name? (Concept is "D118", file folder was named "D-118". I have added a sampling on D-118 to test for this)
DPI scaling error in console (partway through, I switched monitors from my Ginormous TV Monitor, to my Weensie Remote Desktop Tablet "monitor", triggering an error in the console, related to DPI scaling in Python)
Intermittent fluctuations in the electrical grid (I am trying to do this during a "Winter Weather Event". Over a third of the city has lost power. In my hubris, perhaps I have overreached!)
Intermittent fluctuations in the WiFi (darn you, Ice Storm!!)
Listing it all out like this... Lordie, but it's a miracle it worked at all!
In the first run last night, the model collapsed at Epoch 60, with a gradual denouement at around Epoch 50-55.
Convergence happened early (less than 10E) with the primary identifier "Servo Skull" (the main tag), and the "deluxe" sampling "a D118 Servo Skull hovering with two clamp arms, 40K" (less than 5E).
However, convergence never really happened for the Scribe Skull tag (less than 10 images), Combat Skull (3 images), Medical Skull (less than 10 images), nor D118 (lots of images, profuse tagging, but many mistakes in setting up the workflow.)
I also realized I'm using Euler A as my sampler, on SDXL. I might try switching to a non-exponential DPM Karras sampler.
That being said, now that I've fixed most of the mistakes, I'm getting good convergence on Servo Skull, and the deluxe sampling, on what is now run#4 of v2.
Some really choice emotional shots! They'll all need profuse retouch, of course, but there's a good range of emotions developing in the D118 tag:
I see that I need better tagging of:
D118's Ident Stamp (an "I" with wings, which I hope to train the Ai to use "eyebrow expressions" as the emotional vector attached to the wingies)
the attachement port on his head (it should be one single blue-led attachment port over his right eye (image left). The rest of his skull should be smooth on top and free of ports)
He does not have legs!! (adding "no legs" in the negative sampling prompt)
number of arms
But dang, it seems I'm making progress on transferring pose vectors associated with "arms" onto the concept of "clamp arms"...
Now how to get finger poses to transfer to clamp states (open/closed/degree of open), or different attachment arms (clamp, needle, spider, socket,...)
I am happy with this!

@alekspaun says he's done on Snowpiercer Season 3, and I am so delighted! If y'all haven't watched.. look, I'm addicted. We could even start a book club, if you want. The Volunteer Breachworker Book Club. Please. Anyone? Watch Snowpiercer (the tv series), watch Snowpiercer (the movie), read Snowpiercer. Talk to me about it.

She is absolutely wearing her Breachworker outfit. #Snowpiercer #SnowpiercerTV #SnowpiercerSeries #VolunteerBreachWorker #VolunteerBreachWorkerBookClub #BreachWorker #Breachmen #OneTrain #TeamBoki #TeamWilford #cosplay #FanArt (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmUjGWJPQm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Run the One Train — this joins the 7, E and Q lines as my fourth end-to-end subway line run! Also a 4m Cross Country Race this morning and ate some carrot cake before the start! #runThe1Line #race #run #running #manhattan #onetrain #sibway #mta #nyc #bronx #newyork #queensDistanceRunners https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mJT2HAF5b/?igshid=z4yfusagoud3

I miss festivals and conventions. When I find myself missing them, I work on my kits and cosplays. I'm not super talented, but I can cobble together an outfit. I have a mighty need to photo op with @alekspaun and @therealalisonwright at a Con someday. Specially, the one in Phoenix, y'all. I'm more than ready for the Snowpiercer Season 2 finale, @snowpiercertv! Side Note: The last time I made an outfit for ComiCon, I was a Human Volunteer Force fighter from the BBC series In The Flesh, and my hope is that more people watch Snowpiercer, because I need more friends that love it. 🤣😭😅 Image Descriptions: a white woman with tattoos and a mohawk is dressed in green utility pants, a navy blue sleeveless shirt, and red suspenders. She is displaying a red lantern and a "W" insignia tattoo. #Snowpiercer #SnowpiercerTV #SnowpiercerSeries #VolunteerBreachWorker #BreachWorker #Breachmen #OneTrain #TeamBoki #TeamWilford #cosplay #FanArt (at Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-e_eYJQSM/?igshid=i49g2g2ngoel
